Your favourite drums:-)
I've been one year in the IOS world with music apps and realized how important (and fun) are the drums. I love how Seekbeats sounds, fx approach in Diode and the Patterning workflow and its versatile options But we have more drums right?
Beatmaker 2
DM-1
IMPC
Waldorf Attack
Beathawk
Elastic Drums
London-Tokyo
Gumdrops
Impaktor....etc. etc.
What're your favourite drums right now?Why? Thank you very much for answering:)

This is so hard to choose one favourite. Often the new apps seem to take all our love and then we go back to old favourites.
I would have to say, that as I make mainly loops and then pass them through effects or sequential or sector. So I use whatever drum app I need at the time and I have loads of them.
Drum Jam!
3 apps I really like to play with are Patterning, Diode-108 and Elastic Drums... They are fun tools for experimentation / creativity... But ONE I always come back to is Rock Drum Machine 2. Not for it's sounds but for it's excellent "Jamming" fonction. It's really an app that allows me to load it, take my guitar and play in no time.
IElectribe,drum jam and Patterning at the moment.
Also, the drum modules in Gadget of course.
I love drums
I want to love seek beats but it's quite unstable for me. I've found iElectribe to be a good alternative and I loves its flutter pad too.
DrumJam, DrumPerfect, Elastic Drums.
Elastic Drums every time, closely followed by Seekbeats. (then Diode, and Patterning)
Rock drum Machine is way up on my list also.
My fantastic four out of Gadget...2 with synthesis, 2 with samples
Before @funjunkie27 shows up, I'm going to say different drummer!
And I like drumjam when I need some quick convincing ethnic percussion.
DrumPerfect, but then I like realistic drums and am less interested in electronic kits.
Gadget London, Patterning, iElectribe, Impaktor, Boom 808!, Figure, even iMaschine!
Got my eye on Waldorf Attack.
Not sure why I don't have Elastic
Oh yeah. Impaktor. Definitely.
I almost dont think of it as a drum app though.
It's like a special instrument in its own catagory. It's amazing.
Be sure to read the gripes on the forum about Attack before jumping in. They may or may not relate to you but it certainly has its quirks at the moment.
I love Patterning for the quick organic quality I can get from the sequencing (poly-rhythms as I think the folks call them) . I still like DM1 for the squelchy FX automation. iElectribe has great automation for glitchy stuff, mostly because I can automate the effect choice (more should do this!!). Elastic drums is nice for spooktacular FX, but overall a bit claustrophobic sounding for me, but with nice automation too. Drumperfect is great for realistic drums, low key jazz or rock etc.
I will potentially love Attack in an update or two (I hope, heh) for the electronic sound sculpting potential and happy accidents. Right now there are too many unhappy accidents with it.
I feel a bit guilty about it, but I'm actually using a Patterning drum kit on a track virtually unaltered.
I normally try to stay away from preset sounds, or alter/effect them a bit, but there are so many great kit presets in Patterning.
One of the kits has made me start to base a whole song around it. Some great kits I so agree.
Elastic Drums // BeatHawk // SeekBeats
I use custom samples into Patterning, then record them into Audioshare w/ effects, then dump em into Sector for tight control over variations (on the sequencer page).
I love apps like that. They really do inspire us when it's groovin'.
Right now it's definitely iElectribe for iPhone, Elastic Drums, and Figure. Together they do all the drum synthesis I need. I use Caustic, Nanoloop, Elsa, TriqTraq, Protein DK, Yellofier, and Loopy HD for sampled drums as well. Depends on my mood and for what purpose/workflow I require for a track.
'Drum Loops HD' for recording. 'Drum Beats+' for jamming. 'Elastic Drums' for fun
Lol....I was tied up yesterday, so you beat me to it John. +1
If recording in Gadget, I'd usually use drums from London or the M1, or if recording in Cubasis, I'd probably use the built-in drums in that. While I have a number of other drum apps, and love RDM, they don't often fit my workflow. Maybe I'm just lazy...
Is there anything on the iPad that automates drums in exactly the same way that Drummer does in Logic Pro X? I really couldn’t care less about drums, and the least I have to do with them the better. The LPX AI Drummer is fantastic (for me, it’s Nikki) as I can just have her do whatever she wants to a piece, and I’m generally satisfied.
Back in the old days with my Korg analogues, Roland analogues and others, I had an Oberheim DMX for a while, which I found tedious to sample, program and actually use. I had a thing called a Roland TR-808 and another called a Roland TR-606. These sounded nice and weren’t all that hard work to use, but the extreme hassle of having to, you know, program more than one pattern in to get variation was really bothersome. Better to have just one pattern running through the whole song and why not have it running through all the songs one makes for several years. So much less work.
I like Sessionband Drums & Rock but I would like to have these apps with real apple loops files for using it with Garageband I mean changing tempo.
Drum Loops HD is very real but I would like to see in this app mini sequencer like in Sessionbands ;-)
Why we can't get PERFECT apps?
Sometimes I use Audioshare to break a loop. It works with kick-snare loops. I cut the hits, export and reprogram them everywhere else. Recently imported a drum/percusive loop into Launchpad, changed the project tempo and recorded with Audioshare. Then exported to Bilbao and worked nice. In both cases Audioshare was my friend.
I still favor using individual midi drum loops (GrooveMonkee and other freebies I've found) with a custom GM drum soundfont that I put together myself from .wav files. Importing and playing them works quickly and seamlessly for me in MultitrackStudio. I sometimes use the ethnic/electronic drum kits in Thumjam too, when I'm looking for something other than rock drums.
